Has anyone skyped their own baby shower?

I was supposed to go to my baby shower the 2nd weekend of Nov, but got put on travel restrictions as of today (I'm 21 weeks along with twins. . .it seems early to me, but I have a really good dr who hasn't overreacted on anything so far, so I figure he's got a good reason).

We're stationed in Groton, CT, and my baby shower is in Michigan--well outside the "2hrs drive" zone I'm allowed. My cousin suggested they hold the shower without me and have me join via Skype--my question is has anyone ever done this? Does it seem weird?

I had a coworker that had to emergently pcs back to the states because of a congenital anomaly for her baby and we did a skype baby shower for her. Her husband was still in Naples and then everything was shipped to her. It worked out really well,

I'm doing it! I live in Germany and my Babyshower will be in Delaware! :) I hope it goes well! But my family really wanted to do something for me and I can't get back home now before baby is due in jan!

I did. We used Skype conference. I was in Belgium and had family in Texas, Arkansas, oklahoma and Kansas that had mini showers at their locations. Everyone had gifts sent to me in Belgium before the shower! It was a lot of fun and we played games and stuff. I really enjoyed it!

Wow! We have almost the same scenario. Husband and I had been planning on flying to his home in MI the first week or two of November, but he wasn't able to get the scheduling worked. So my sisters in law have suggested doing a Skype shower-- they want to send me a decorative backdrop and direct gifts to be shipped to me in CA and then Skype in for some games (I have no idea what they have up they're sleeves in that area) and gift opening. Sounds like it could be fun and I think it's really sweet that they want to shower me and they're future nephew with some loving even at a long distance. Hopefully it will work out for you as well!
